1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The pharmacokinetics and safety of ceftolozane, a novel cephalosporin, and tazobactam, a β-lactamase inhibitor, alone and in combination as a 2:1 ratio in single doses of up to 2,000 and 1,000 mg of ceftolozane and tazobactam, respectively, and multiple doses of up to 3,000 and 1,500 mg of ceftolozane and tazobactam, respectively, per day were evaluated in healthy adult subjects. In part 1, groups of six subjects each received single ascending doses of ceftolozane, tazobactam, and ceftolozane-tazobactam in a within-cohort crossover design. In part 2, groups of 5 or 10 subjects each received multiple doses of ceftolozane, tazobactam, or ceftolozane-tazobactam for 10 days. After a single dose of ceftolozane alone, the ranges of mean values for half-life (2.48 to 2.64 h), the total clearance (4.35 to 6.01 liters/h), and the volume of distribution at steady state (11.0 to 14.1 liters) were consistent across dose levels and similar to those observed when ceftolozane was coadministered with tazobactam. Mean values after multiple doses for ceftolozane alone and ceftolozane-tazobactam were similar to those seen following a single dose. The pharmacokinetics of the dosing regimens evaluated were dose proportional and linear. Ceftolozane-tazobactam was well tolerated and systemic adverse events were uncommon. Mild infusion-related adverse events were the most commonly observed following multiple-dose administration. Adverse events were not dose related, and no dose-limiting toxicity was identified.
